Voice of Travelers to Peshawar
Family Vacation to Peshawar
We are a couple from Punjab, India. We had planned to have our vacation in Peshawar and enjoy the outdoor activities in fall. We flew from Punjab to Peshawar using Pakistan International Airlines and they offered a relatively cheaper ticket compared to other airlines. We did'nt need any visa, just a valid passports and ticket to Peshawar. We booked our ticket six weeks before our flight, a friend had suggested that ticket are cheap six weeks before the travel date. Serene offered 10% off their ticket but Pakistan International still had cheaper ticket. An amazing travel experience with exceptionally friendly flight attendants who upgraded our flight tickets to first class after noticing that we were couples from the names on the ticket.
Retiring in Peshawar
I am Abdalla initially from Karachi. I retired in Peshawar last year after working for more than 30 years with the government of Pakistan. I flew to Peshawar to search for a good and comfortable housing before relocating. I bought a ticket to Peshawar online after searching for the cheapest ticket online. Purchasing the ticket online was cheaper compared to visiting the travel agents who sold their ticket more expensive compared to purchasing the online ticket. When purchasing a ticket to Peshawar it is advisable to purchase your ticket weeks prior to your departure, ticket are cheaper during this period and i did take advantage of that. I chose to travel using Serene Airlines who offered 5% off their ticket and connected me to Askari Aviation for cargo purposes and as a result, Askari Aviation charged a lower ticket price to transport my goods to Peshawar compared to other cargo transporters.
